The Cherifian Empire (in Arabic: المملكة المغربية الشريفة[2][3] or الدولة المغربية الشريفة[4], in ⵜⴰⵎⵏⴽⴷⴰ ⵜⴰⵛⵉⵔⵉⴼⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ[5]) is a historical name given to Morocco[6] between the 16th and 20th centuries, under the regimes of the dynasties of the Saadian then the Alawites[7], who claim to be of Chérifian origin (in the sense of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad)[8].

Until 1912, it was a military-theocratic empire with shifting margins, multi-ethnic and multi-confessional[9]. The signing of the Treaty of Fes by the Alawite sultan Abd al-Hafid on March 30, 1912 in Fez, turned the Empire under a French protectorate.
